I'm not exactly what I'm looking at in the reflection, but there is something about the shot that is really intriguing. Nicely done!

This is truly a beautiful shot! I love the effect the longer exposure has introduced into the water; the wet rocks and color finish it off. At 10 in my book! Excellent job.

Very beautiful shot! I really like the tonal range... it give a very 'foggy' feel to your shot.

Fantastic capture! Your composition creates a very interesting shot. The only negative to this shot is that the background isn't "clean" and distracts from the rest of the frame. --9

You've probably heard this already this challenge, but this is gorgeous! The bird on the rock and the breaking wave are perfect touches. Color is definitely the focus. My favorite so far... --10

Fresh Snow

Thanks (to all) for the wonderful comments! I was definitely lucky to have a chance to capture this shot... I actually shot it through one of the openings of a wire mesh fence while stopped on the side of the highway.

And while it would have been fantastic to have 'placed' with a ribbon, I'm pleasantly pleased that it performed as well as it did. In retrospect, I might have performed slightly better if I had cropped a bit tighter (to remove the snow at the lower left corner). My take on it was that it put the entire scene in perspective, and gave it more of a sense of place and reality. I've tried it both ways, and I'm still not sure I would have done things differently.

The surprising piece to me was that there were as many votes in the 1-3 point range... (I guess some folks just must have been jealous? :-) ).
